Much easier is to create a macro called "EditCut". This will prevent any
cutting in any fashion (shortcut menu, tool bar, keyboard short cut, etc.)

Sub EditCut()

MsgBox "You are not allowed to cut."

End Sub

You can probably grey it with the "Enabled" property set to false.

If you disable it and do not warn users somehow, they will get frustrated
thinking that their computer is "broken". Whenever you change a regular
setting, it is only fair to let the user know what is going on.
Just my 2¢ on this...
